Wordsmith

Baltimore-based rapper, musician and entrepreneur Wordsmith makes hip-hop with a strong motivational message. His mission is to entertain and educate through a message of purpose while providing clean, quality, marketable Music for the Masses. Earning a full athletic scholarship to play football at Morgan State University it was his transfer to Salisbury University that shifted his focus to entertainment. Finishing with a Bachelor's Degree in Theater Arts Wordsmith combines his love of Music and Theater into highly expressive performances free of profanity, full of message driven content and fun for all ages! Wordsmith’s career continues to flourish as he is a Grammy voting member, winner of Best Rap/Hip Album for Perspective Jukebox at the 16th Independent Music Awards, guest songwriter/narrator with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra for Carnival of the Animals, BSO Gala with special guest Cynthia Erivo and Beethoven Nine in June 2020. Over the past 2 years alone Wordsmith has lectured and performed in Azerbaijan, Haiti, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Angola and Ukraine. Philanthropy has always been a major part of Wordsmith’s core values and his partnerships with Project Plase Homeless Shelter in Baltimore, Kids Connection Haiti, ALS One and Red Cross Angola keep his purpose alive and well.
